Amazon Echo and Google Home price war – Why now is a good time to buy a smart speaker

If you’ve been thinking of joining the smart speaker revolution then now could be a very good time to invest. Google and Amazon both make some of the most popular devices on the market and there’s currently some big savings to be grabbed.

For example, you can pop an Echo Dot in your shopping basket for just £24.99 which is a saving of over £20 off the usual price.

If it’s a Google device you fancy owning then the firm’s Nest Mini is now on sale for £29 – saving £20.

These two entry-level speakers offer plenty of bang for their buck with both having recently been rebooted with improved sound.

For those wanting something with extra features, then Google and Amazon also have discounts on their speakers with screens.

Amazon has lower prices on its Echo Show, Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5 whilst Google has slashed the cost of its Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max.

All of these devices feature a display which can show information such as weather, news updates and how your daily diary is looking.

You can also use these speakers to make video calls and even view services such as YouTube and Prime Video.
